Explain how the graph the inequality eight is greater or equal to y

I think the question is how to graph the inequality 8 is greater than or equal to y.  To graph this, you would restate this question to say the y is less than or equal to 8.  From here, you would draw a number line and graph where 8 is on the number line by placing a dot directly over the number 8.  To show that all the values less than 8 are also correct, you would draw an arrow facing left off the dot you drew.  This would show that all values at 8 or less than 8 would be solutions (the set of solutions).

Break the figure into a parallelogram and a triangle. Find the area of each using the formulas A=bh and A=1/2bh. The sum of the areas is the area of figure.
